4 years on, Who Owns Norfolk has mapped 70% of West Norfolk and is concluding its landownership research. In this old fashioned part of England, just 0.2% of the population (including several Italian counts) owns 50% of the land. Read on for more: https://t.co/F99oWrsygW

@NCLawService Congratulations to both! So pleased for Sally, a longtime legal hero of mine, and she is so modest about her many talents. #ThankYou

@bbcpress @RealDMitchell @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Please, why are there no subtitles on BBC iPlayer for Ludwig? Making it impossible for my parents to watch (92 and 94). Thanks.

Naomi Hunte was killed by her partner despite going to the police about his violence.

While being investigated for her murder he started seeing Fiona Holm. She also made multiple reports. The police did nothing.

Within 16 months he killed both of them.

Yesterday I saw @AngelaRayner on the train to Manchester, today I think I saw @macinnes_neil outside the library (he kindly gave a brilliant talk at @SuffolkLibrary last year) #Manchester #heroes #DidntSpeakToSayThankYou

We can't stand by & accept violence against women & girls. Our thoughts are with the young victim of yesterday’s attack & her family, not forgetting those of the Southport murders. Acts of #VAWG are overwhelmingly committed by men & we must address this as the emergency it is.

[Mr C. Kelly @CKellyPsych]

If I can give any SLT any advice… Don’t ask a member of staff to “pop by your office for a chat” That triggers people. Please give us the context and the reason and we’ll oblige. Staff trauma is a thing…

@tdroyston @AmesTaylor_DA @RBraadshaaw @GMWRAGtweets Oh! As an erstwhile CAB employment trainer, we used to spend hours working out if we could explain discrimination through the medium of biscuits....

[Legal Action Group @LegalActionGrp]

Our thoughts are with our immigration colleagues who we understand are being targeted in the riots. We have been told that police have advised some offices to close.

If anyone needs any books or access to the magazine please let LAG know & we will provide it free.

Stay safe x
